THN brings you the brand new trailer for the upcoming animated series TRON: UPRISING. The show will be set between 1982 cult, ground-breaking TRON and Joseph Kosinski’s recent 2010 disappointment TRON: LEGACY. Adding their voice talent to the series will be Elijah Wood, Lance Henriksen, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Mandy Moore, Paul Reubens, Nate Corddry, and Reginald VelJohnson.
If the show is a success, Disney will most certainly put a third big-screen TRON effort into production, with a script already in the works. However, considering the huge budget, poor box-office showing and critical mauling TRON: LEGACY took, that success will have to be significant.
The official synopsis goes as follows:-
Produced by Disney Television Animation, the series follows Beck, a young program who becomes the unlikely leader of a revolution inside the computer world of The Grid. His mission is to free his home and friends from the reign of the villainous Clu and his henchman General Tesler. Beck will be trained by Tron – the greatest warrior the Grid has ever known. Tron will not only teach Beck the fighting skills he needs to challenge this brutal military occupation, but will be a guide and mentor to him as he grows beyond his youthful, impulsive nature into a courageous, powerful leader. Destined to become the new protector of the system, Beck adopts Tron’s persona and becomes the archenemy of Tesler and his oppressive forces.
TRON: UPRISING debuts in the US on Disney XD in June; a UK date is currently being scheduled.
